FORTS AND PALACES OF INDIA
India
is a country of forts and palaces among others. Most forts were built
as a defence mechanism to keep the enemy at bay. On the other hand, most
palaces were constructed in the name of kings and queens. The best example
is the state of Rajasthan that is home to the forts and palace built in
the yester years. And many of them are beign run as five star hotels in
the present times.
The notable
feature about each of the palaces is the exquisite carving work that has
survived till date and still receives appreciation from people worldwide.
